Black Lives Matter folks are showing up to demand justice for Renee Nicole Good.
All Lives Matter folks are defending the man and celebrating the bullet that killed her.
Maybe now you can understand what we’ve been saying all along.

President Trump has declared war on Colorado.
His latest act of retribution is vetoing a bipartisan bill— that passed unanimously— to provide 50,000 people in rural Colorado access to clean water.
Unless Congress acts, no town, city or state in America will be safe from his political retaliation.

President Trump’s reckless weaponization of ICE is making our cities less safe and endangering people simply trying to lead their lives. We need an investigation, and we need justice.

Beware of false patriotism, calling for "supporting our troops," in an attempt to conflate our support for them with supporting illegal, imperialistic conquest. The best we can do for our troops and their families is to stop these actions, saving them from a lifetime of meaningless grief and trauma.

Next time you look at your greatly increased monthly bill for healthcare, remember that Republicans chose to use the money set aside for supplements to defray your costs to, instead, invade Venezuela to make ExxonMobil even richer.
Thank them with your votes.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Trump did not mention the pardon but did make several false claims about Peters' case.
